In general, unless it is specifically stated that a calculator is permitted or required for a particular test, calculators may not be used on any Praxis tests (see Calculator Use).
- If you test in Delaware at a testing center or using the Praxis at home solution, and your Praxis profile address is in Delaware, your score report will be sent automatically to the Delaware Department of Education.

To have your scores sent to the Delaware Department of Education, you must select the Delaware Department of Education (state code 7065) as a score recipient when you register.
